It is generally known that a shell in the form of layered structures stacked up thin elements by organic adhesives has high resistance capacity against static and impact loading. The complex materials such as these diversified layered structures are more reliable and efficient to the impact loading than the single material. In this study, the segmented composites in the shape of a beam were made, using mortar and concrete block and tested under static and impact loading in order to develop the complex materials in the form of layered structures as the segmented composites to resist impact loading. And it compared to the normal concrete beams having the same compressive strength to evaluate the differences in their performance and failure modes.

In recent, the impacts of urbanization on hydrology and water quality can be minimized with the use of Low Impact Development (LID) practices in urban areas. But, there are no ways to verify or to show the quantitative effectiveness with LID practices. This study designed and developed to perform experiments in natural or artificial representation of hydrological cycle, which is called rainfall-runoff simulator to be able to quantify factors in hydrological system. This simulator was applied to a pervious pavement block. The study conducted analysis of effectiveness for a pervious pavement block by comparing the results with a general pavement block. The result from the pervious pavement block showed remarkably reduction effect on surface runoff with increase of rainfall intensity and more duration time. Also, the simulator was possible to control no surface runoff by a rainfall intensity at 50 mm/hr for an hour. The research indicated possibility and effectiveness for LID practices. This might be widely available to apply to LID practices verification. Therefore, the study is possible to make use of practical standards on fundamental studies.

Traditional clustering methods, like k-means or fuzzy clustering, are prototype-based methods which are applicable only to convex clusters. On the other hand, spectral clustering tries to find clusters only using local similarity information. Its ability to handle concave clusters has gained the popularity recent years together with support vector machine (SVM) which is a kernel-based classification method. However, as is in SVM, the kernel width plays an important role and has a great impact on the result. Several methods are proposed to decide it automatically, it is still determined based on heuristics. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive method deciding the kernel width based on distance histogram. The proposed method is motivated by the fact that the affinity matrix should be formed into a block diagonal matrix to generate the best result. We use the tradition Euclidean distance together with the random walk distance, which make it possible to form a more apparent block diagonal affinity matrix. Experimental results show that the proposed method generates more clear block structured affinity matrix than the existing one does.

Package-On-Package (PoP) technology is developing toward smaller form factors with high-speed data transfer capabilities to cope with high DDR4x memory capacity. The common application processor (AP) used for PoP devices in smartphones has the bottom package as logic and the top package as memory, which requires both thermally and electrically enhanced functions. Therefore, it is imperative that PoP designs consider both thermal and power distribution network (PDN) issues. Stacked packages have poorer thermal dissipation than single packages. Since the bottom package usually has higher power consumption than the top package, the bottom package impacts the thermal budget of the top package (memory). This paper investigates the thermal and electrical characteristics of PoP designs, particularly the bottom package. Findings include that via and dense via-cluster volume have an important role to lower thermal resistance to the motherboard, which can be an effective way to manage chip hot spots and reduce the thermal impact on the memory package. A Cu block and dense via-cluster layout with an optimal location are proposed to drain the heat from the chip hot spots to motherboard which will enhance thermal and electrical performance at the design stage. The analytical thermal results can be used for design guidelines in 3D packaging.

In the block matching algorithm, search patterns of different shapes or sizes and the distribution of motion vectors have a large impact on both the searching speed and the image quality. In this paper, we propose a new fast block matching algorithm using the cross pattern and the flat-hexagon search pattern. Our algorithm first finds the motion vectors that are close to the center of search window using the cross pattern, and then lastly finds the other motion vectors that are not close to the center of search window using the flat-hexagon search pattern. Through experiments, compared with the hexagon-based search algorithm(HEXBS), the proposed cross pattern and flat-hexagonal pattern search algorithm(CFHPS ) improves about 0.2-6.2% in terms of average number of search point per motion vector estimation and improves about 0.02-0.31dB in terms of PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio).

This paper proposes a novel guidance law based on the block backstepping sliding mode control and extended state observer (ESO), which also takes into account the autopilot dynamic characteristics of the near space interceptor (NSI), and the impact angle constraint of attacking the maneuvering target. Based on the backstepping control approach, the target maneuvers and the parameter uncertainties of the autopilot are regarded as disturbances of the outer loop and inner loop, respectively. Then, the ESO is constructed to estimate the target acceleration and the inner loop disturbance, and the block backstepping sliding model guidance law is employed, based on the estimated disturbance value. Furthermore, in order to avoid the "explosion of complexity" problem, first-order low-pass filters are also introduced, to obtain differentiations of the virtual control variables. The stability of the closed-loop guidance system is also proven, based on the Lyapunov theory. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed guidance law can not only overcome the influence of the autopilot dynamic delay and target maneuvers, but also obtain a small miss distance.

This paper discusses management problems of Hadoop distributed node, which is a platform for big data processing, and proposes a novel technique for enabling flexible node management of Hadoop Distributed File System. Hadoop cannot configure Hadoop cluster dynamically because it judges temporarily unavailable nodes as a failure. Delayed block replication scheme proposed in this paper delays the removal of unavailable node as much as possible so as to be easily rejoined. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme increases flexibility of node management with little impact on distributed processing performance when the cluster size changes.

The paper concerns the selection of a design accelerograms used for the slope stability assessment under earthquake excitation. The aim is to experimentally verify the Arias Intensity as an indicator of the excitation threat to the slope stability. A simple dynamic system consisting of a rigid block on a rigid inclined plane subjected to horizontal excitation is adopted as a slope model. Strong ground motions recorded during earthquakes are reproduced on a shaking table. The permanent displacement of the block serves as a slope stability indicator. Original research stand allows us to analyse not only the relative displacement but also the acceleration time history of the block. The experiments demonstrate that the Arias Intensity of the accelerogram is a good indicator of excitation threat to the stability of the slope. The numerical analyses conducted using the experimentally verified extended Newmark's method indicate that both the Arias Intensity and the peak velocity of the excitation are good indicators of the impact of dynamic excitation on the dam's stability. The selection can be refined using complementary information, which is the dominant frequency and duration of the strong motion phase of the excitation, respectively.

Recently, the danger of fine dust has emerged worldwide. In general, fine dust refers to particulate matter less than 10㎛ and ultrafine dust less than 2.5㎛, and according to the announcement by HEI (Health Impact Research Institute) in 2015, the concentration of ultrafine dust in Korea is the second highest among OECD member countries. It was investigated. In this study, an experiment was conducted to analyze how the diatomaceous earth substitution rate affects the strength characteristics of the permeable block. As the replacement rate of diatomaceous earth increased, the strength decreased. The reason why the strength decreases with the use of diatomaceous earth is that the strength of the hardened body decreases as the structure of the hardened body becomes less dense as the amount of diatomaceous earth increases, and the reason that the strength decreases as the replacement rate of diatomaceous earth increases is the reason for the absorption performance of diatomaceous earth. Therefore, it is judged that a void was generated inside the hardened body while water was absorbed and then evaporated or discharged in the matrix, and accordingly, the strength decreased.

In this paper, we mathematically investigate a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system for short-packet communications (SPC) in which the near users are used as full-duplex (FD) relays to forward intended signals from the source to a far user. In addition, partial relay selection is employed to enhance the performance of the FD relays under the impact of imperfect interference cancellation. At the far user, selection combining (SC) or maximal ratio combining (MRC) is employed to combine the signals received from the source and the selected FD relay. The analytical expressions for the average block error rate (BLER) of two users over flat Rayleigh fading channels are derived. Furthermore, closed-form asymptotic expressions of the average BLERs at the near and far users in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes are obtained. The numerical results show that the analytical BLERs of the near user and far user closely match the simulation results.
